Throughout my career I have always focused on outcomes that make a difference for the people of King County: transportation, housing and public safety. Our communities are growing increasingly expensive– which is why I fight for expanded access to affordable housing and convenient, sustainable transportation options. We deserve to feel and be safe in our communities– which is why I have delivered public safety solutions from support for law enforcement to crime prevention, and behavioral health responses.

I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my experience, perseverance and proven record to the office of County Executive.”

The Stranger called me a “Transit Die Hard,” and I proudly accept that label. From leading Sound Transit's three-county light rail expansion, to bringing light rail to the Eastside to championing the 42-mile Eastrail and providing free transit for youth, I’ve spent my career making sure ...King County moves forward—literally.

Now, I’m running for King County Executive to continue expanding transit options and connecting communities.

I’m grateful to see KIRO 7 News covering our campaign's launch! If elected, I’d be honored to become the first woman to lead our state’s largest county.

Kudos to Bellevue for an innovative ordinance that will allow faith-based organizations to develop higher-density affordable homes on their properties. Under the law, 36 congregations will be eligible and three are already planning that could result in hundreds of new homes, including some that are... available for homeownership. Great job to our city partners!
